This three-bedroom mid-terrace Edwardian house in Norbury combines period charm with recent renovation, offered chain free on freehold tenure. The living spaces are bright, with high ceilings and bay windows to the front, and a modern galley kitchen that opens onto a sunny rear garden. EPC rating C and mains gas heating provide acceptable efficiency for the area.
The layout suits families or first-time buyers seeking space to grow: large reception and dining rooms on the ground floor, three bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom upstairs. There is clear potential to add value by extending into the loft (subject to planning permission), increasing living space and future resale appeal. The property is an average-sized home on a small plot, with around 1,108 sq ft internal area.
Location is a strong practical selling point: short walks to Norbury and Streatham Common stations with direct links into central London, plus a highly regarded primary school just 50 metres away. Local amenities include shops, cafés, supermarkets and green spaces such as Streatham Common and the Rookery.
Notable negatives are stated plainly: the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which could affect longer-term heating costs. There is only one family bathroom and a small rear plot, so buyers seeking large outdoor space or multiple bathrooms should note these constraints.
